"We haven't resolved everything, but I think we are making progress in the right direction, and we have to keep up the momentum, he said."
"We don't want to return to the past, which means that no one wants to see this fighting happening again. Therefore, what is important is that this ceasefire is to be permanent and must be firmly respected and implemented."
Thailand and Cambodia met for two days of talks in Yunnan, China, following a ceasefire that froze troop positions after weeks of fierce border fighting. The conflict has killed more than 100 people and displaced over half a million civilians in both countries. Talks focused on confidence-building measures to restore peace, security and stability along the border. Thailand agreed to return 18 captured Cambodian soldiers on Tuesday if the ceasefire is fully observed. Thai officials said progress is being made and momentum must be maintained. Cambodian officials called for the ceasefire to be permanent and firmly implemented. China described the discussions as beneficial and constructive.
